Hi all ,

As mentioned in the title, I'm trying to convert a page screen to PDF and send it as an email. However, I'm receiving the following error and am not sure how to fix it:

Invalid argument type (Record). Expecting a Text value instead.

This is my Onselect code for the PDF icon:

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(
    User().Email,
    "FORM K",
    {
        Attachments:  
            {
            Name: "Sample.pdf",
            ContentBytes: PDF(Screen2_2)
            }
        
    }
);
Notify("PDF Sent via MAIL")

This is the screen if it helps.

Hi @JL-22010337-0

You're hitting that classic Power Apps argument type mismatch because SendEmailV2 expects a text string as the email body, but you're passing an object instead. Plus, the Attachments property must be a table, not a single record.

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(
User().Email, // Recipient
"FORM K", // Subject
"Please find attached Form K.", // Body must be text
{
Attachments: Table(
{
Name: "Sample.pdf",
ContentBytes: PDF(Screen2_2)
}
)
}
);
Notify("PDF Sent via MAIL")

Thanks!

Hi @JL-22010337-0,

Firstly what @Rajkumar_M has posted is correct and will work. I would just like to clarify that your problem was that you were missing the Body parameter - Table() also works, but you do not need it.
